Kitchens need enough outlets to handle counter top appliances as well as your major appliances such as a refrigerator, dishwasher and trash compactor. Window air conditioners need a dedicated outlet.<\/p>\n<p><b>Take your decorating scheme into consideration.<\/b><br \/>\nIn the living room or den, you will need a floor outlet if you have tables and lamps that are a distance from a wall outlet. A floor outlet will be more attractive and functional since you won\u2019t have to use an extension cord to reach the wall outlet.<\/p>\n<p>A professional, licensed and insured electrician will help you target your needs and install additional outlets correctly according to the housing codes.<\/p>\n<p>For more information regarding this post, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elocalelectricians.com\/content\/electrician-articles\/how-many-outlets-in-each-room-567\">ELocalElectricians.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>B W Electric has been serving the Southern Illinois area for over 10 years.
